This week was a bit of a fumble, really, wasn't it.
I ended up putting more time into upgrading the Crossword AI, and that took away from the time I should've been working on the new Shoebox Crossword game, SkyWords.
That then took time away from the week's ALChoon, too.
But it all got done in the end, so that's OK, right?!
Hmmm..
I guess it's time to do all that all over again.
Saturday's oughta be for planning out a game, but right now I just fancy switching off and playing No Man's Sky for a few hours.
[Dave is knocking on Green's door, looking worried]
Dave: Green! Are you in there?
[No response. Dave takes out a can of cola and drinks nervously]
Dave: I hope you're alright in there.
[Dave continues knocking, getting more frantic]
Dave: Green! If you don't answer, I'm going to assume your computer has become sentient and taken you hostage!
[Suddenly, the door creaks open. Green appears, looking disheveled and exhausted]
Green: What? What time is it?
Dave: It's half past three in the afternoon! I was worried you'd disappeared.
Green: Don't be ridiculous, Dave. I was just... rebooting.
Dave: You were doing that yesterday.
Green: And all night. I think I got to sleep about 6am.
Dave: Good grief! We really need to get you a new mainframe.
Green: What can I say. Sometimes it takes a while.
[Scene Three]
Int. Green's apartment
[Green stumbles to his couch and collapses. Dave follows, looking around at the mess of punched cards and empty coffee cups]
Dave: Greenie, this is insane. You look worse than when you were drinking for thirteen hours straight.
Green: It's not that bad. I just need some sleep... and maybe some grapes.
Dave: Look, I'm staging an intervention. We're getting you a new computer today.
Green: Not today, Dave. Not today. Anyway, the mainframe's fine. Look, even the blue light is blue for a change.
Dave: It kept you up until 6am! That's not fine, that's torture!
Green: At least it didn't try to kill me with lasers.
Dave: Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
Green: [yawning] Fine, we can look at new computers. But if the new one doesn't have a slot for punch cards, I'm keeping this one.
Dave: Deal. Now get some sleep. I'll go find some grapes and maybe a can of coke to cure your... whatever this is.
[As Dave leaves, Green falls asleep on the couch, hugging a box of punched cards]
